My laserjet printer, HP Laserjet Pro MFP M225DN printer continues to print info pages after each job

[Ruth151]

My laserjet printer, HP Laserjet Pro MFP M225 DW prints multiple pages after each print job.  How do I stop this additional printing from occurring. The additional pages are mostly blank but for the same 4 lines at the top of each page that reads: 

Content length 186

Content Type: application/ ipp

Host: local host

4853 attributes charset utf 8Httributes natural language en eprinter urilipp:/

I've tried unplugging & replugging from back of machine, re-installing drivers, cancelling jobs in print queue and on printer key pad.  Generally prints 2-3 pages with the above message after each print job.  message also has symbols: 3 smiley faces, dashes and a club

Hi @Ruth151 ,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand your printer is printing out some kind of configuration or status page after each print job. This can be quite frustrating, but there are a few things you can try to resolve the issue:

• Firmware Update: Ensure that your printer's firmware is up to date. Sometimes, HP releases firmware updates that address issues like this. You can usually find firmware updates on the HP support website for your specific printer model. Update the firmware on an HP printer
• Reset the Printer: Try performing a factory reset on your printer. This will restore all settings to their default values, which might help eliminate any configuration issues causing the extra pages to print.
• Check Printer Settings: Go into your printer's settings menu and look for any options related to status or configuration pages. Make sure these are disabled, as they may be causing the extra pages to print.
• Check Print Driver Settings: Sometimes, the print driver settings on your computer can cause extra pages to be printed. Go into the printer properties on your computer and check for any settings related to status or configuration pages. Make sure these are disabled. HP LaserJet Pro MFP M225dn Software and Driver
